I discovered a great new spot for myself to sneak away to and find some ridiculously amazing new rocks! You won't believe the colors in the jasper rocks I found. The agates were great too! The only thing missing from my day was a little bit more sunshine, but my new finds more than made up for that.

The humongous piece of agatized petrified wood that I found at my new rockhounding spot will be fed to Drogon, my 18 inch slab saw, in an upcoming video! It really paid off to find this new great spot, my haul home of rock finds was definitely one of the best.

Looking to learn about Yellowstone River agates? This is a publication from 1972 by a man named Paul Fry. This was the very first literature I read when I was learning about Montana agates. It is called "Meanderings of a Montana Rockhound" and it is priceless:

Here is another page with great information on Montana Agates by Jim Landon called "Montana Agate: The Best Catch on the Yellowstone River" :

For all those asking, I do not sell my rocks. As my supply permits, I do rock trades. So, if you have some nice specimens you think I would like to add to my collection, we can trade via any size flat rate  post office box. Or, if you are an artist or have something else you think I would like, that's an option too! Please be patient as I have lots of emails and sometimes miss some.  If you are wanting to purchase some Montana rocks, I have listed the Stores below of two fellow Montana Rockhounds KatyDidRocks and Theo Kellison, great friends of mine.

As far as places I rockhound, greater than 90% of the time I utilize PUBLIC fishing access spots on the Yellowstone river. KatyDidRocks has a great book out on all the places us Montana rockhounds like to go on the Lower Yellowstone River:
